Studio recording, 1984 (Tooth and Nail album). Gear confirmed for era and band, but no explicit source for clean section pickup/amp settings. No evidence of live rig differences for this song's clean part.

The clean riff requires accurate arpeggiation and dynamic control to maintain clarity and avoid unwanted breakup, but does not involve advanced techniques or fast tempo.
